Ordering Sky - living in apartment
 

Just tried to order Sky (TV, broadband, Talk) online but because I live in an apartment more than 2 floors up I have to call them

I wanted to do it online to get £10 plus also £50 for doing to via Quidco

D'oh :(

Tell them that! Seems a bit out of order.

I ordered my BT line and as it was a new postcode i couldn't order online. I had to ring them and they gave me it at the online price :)

thats good

mine is a new postcode too but when I entered the postcode it couldnt find it but then it let me continue. however i then couldnt get further cause of the apartment being more than 2 floors up etc

Can i ask how come you're choosing to go with Sky broadband?

Re: Ordering Sky - living in apartment
 

It's probably going to be something to do with the easements for the telco line through common parts (ntl:telewest also have these issues), so they will want to make sure you are serviceable. Equally the TV also can have issues. Many blocks have communal aerial systems, so they'd need to check compatibility with those if they are around. Blocks that don't have common aerials may still have restrictions, planning, or simply leasehold, on dish locations. Sky would want to know you can comply with all that, and a web order may not be the easiest way of checking that compliance.

broadband is only £5 per month for their MID package. 8Mb and 40Gb limit

I was with NTL and my bill is something like £45

its a brand new apartment block and they have already installed the wires and things apparently

was told all i would need to do is sign up to sky (and get the set top box and all that)

I'm gonna go with Talk Talk as its only £19.99 with phone and 'up to' 8 meg (this includes the phone line rental). I've got a freeview box so i'm not worried about TV.

I was also told the same myth by the developers, BT told me they do have to send an engineer out to survey the work done by the developers so you have to pay anyway :(

Re: Ordering Sky - living in apartment
 

that sounds like a good deal.

I was going to get freeview but I watch stuff which is only on Sky such as 24.

Sky TV will be £15, broadband is £5 and then phone from BT is £11.

Remember with ADSL that upto 8Mb - depending on your distance from the exchange. Although in central town the maximum I could get would be 2Mb.

I think he's like myself and stuck with an ADSL line so can't have it.
